is obtained
when

TUNING
meter needle deflects to the extreme
right (see Fig. 10).
3. Adjust
the
VOLUME,
BASS,
and
TREBLE
controls for the listening level and tone quality
of your preference.
NOTE:
If, when listening to either FM or AM broadcasts, the sensitivity
seems poor, and interference is heavy, so that listening pleasure is
seriously
affected,
refer
to
the
section
"ANTENNA
AND
GROUND
CONNECTIONS,"
on page 6 and make any changes
necessary.
RECORD

switch to PHONO/MIC.
2. Operate the turntable to play the record.
8. Adjust the VOLUME,
BASS and TREBLE
con-
trols for the listening level and tone quality of
your preference.
USING THE AUX JACKS
When playing equipment to which the AUX jacks
are connected, operate as follows:
1. Set the FUNCTION switch to AUX.
2. Operate the audio component.
8. Adjust the VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE con-
trols for the listening level and tone quality of
your preference.
USING THE MICROPHONE
1. Connect the microphone to the MIC jack.
2. Set the FUNCTION switch to PHONO/MIC.
8. Adjust the sound level by turning the VOLUME
control to the right little by little. The midway
setting of the BASS and TREBLE
controls will
usually be best.
NOTES:
1. You should use high impedance (above 20k) microphones of
the dynamic type, with standard 6mm diameter phone plugs.
Pioneer puts on the market a wide variety of high performance
microphones for your selection.
2. It is readily possible for microphone, under certain conditions
of use, to give rise to "howling" feedback noise. Be careful not
to raise the volume too high when the microphone is close to
the
speaker
systems
or in a room
with a great deal of
resonance. It is most effective in using the TREBLE and BASS
controls at their midway positions.
